“Sometimes I write drunk and revise sober [...] and sometimes I write sober and revise drunk. But you have to have both elements in creation — the Apollonian and the Dionysian, or spontaneity and restraint, emotion and discipline.”
Editing with a Personal Touch
Words are the things we use to convey meaning, describe our worlds, and our relationships. Let’s be honest, editing is about details, ensuring consistency in structure, voice, style, and grammar. It’s about making sure your tenses are consistent, and that your characters arrive at the same place at the same time. Editing helps writers make sure that references are stylistically correct not just factually. In all of these details, sometimes it is easy to lose touch with the beauty and power of the words we write. Quill and Pounce editors want to help you keep the beauty and power in your writing so that the words you choose create the worlds and meanings you desire.
Our editors have experience in a broad range of fiction, non-fiction, and academic writing. We work with diverse populations and strive to honour individuals and the worlds they create. We believe that the work we do can help create a more equitable and just world where individual’s representations are meaningful. Whether you are an author that identifies as part of a marginalized population, or if you are writing about diverse worlds, people, and cultures we will work with you to honour that tradition.
